Egg Hunting on Caserma Ederle

This is Logan. This is how Logan hunts for Easter treats. He sits with his basket in his lap and waits for people (namely me) to put things in there for him to have later. I'm not sure what the worried face is for. Maybe there was just to much confusion.
Charlie and Haylee had a blast in the bounce house.

Charlie is gathering up her loot.

Gavin is trying out his new defensive postion that he learned in basketball.

Jessie looks a little lost. I think she thought that everyone would just stay out of her way until she got everything that she wanted.

Maybe next year she'll learn.

Notice no Taylor or Jessie. Taylor because she thinks that she's cool.LOL And Jessie because she seems to have a phobia with people dressed up as charaters. It happened once before with Smokey the Bear.

Toothless Wonder

I have always wanted to call one of my kids the Toothless Wonder but the older ones never seemed to really look toothless. We Jessie is doing it for me. She has lost 3 teeth in the last month. All on the top.

5K

We were a little early for the race. By about an hour. I got all the kids to sit for a picture (except Taylor). I think that we have hit a faze with her where she is gone off with friends most of the time.

THE KIDS

Top: Merideth and Sydney

Next: Trent, Gavin and Cooper

2nd: Christian, Haylee, Charlie, Laycee

Bottom: Alexander, Elle, Noah, Logan, Jessie and Kira

Yes we took all these kids on the run.

Here we are at the starting line. Again Taylor is missing. She and Noah wanted to stand on the starting line.

Taylor and Noah pasted us. They were going one way and we the other.

Charlie, Haylee, and Trent on the finish line. Charlie was so helpful. She pushed Trent in the stoller the whole way. Except for right after she dumped him on the ground. But after some loves she got right back to it.

Gavin pushed Alexander almost the whole way and across the finish. He did great.

Afterwards we all went to Burger King to pig out.
Elle, Charlie and Haylee.

Jessie and Sister Openshaw sat together at lunch. If you noticed that I didn't have any pictures of Jessie after the race started that was because she left me in the dust. I didn't see her until I got to the finish.

Gavin, Cooper and Taylor worked up an appetite. Taylor ran the whole thing and Gavin and Cooper pushed the little ones.

It was a great day to spend with friends.

Gavin's Finishing Touch

Gavin really worked hard this season. It really paided off for him.

He got to play almost the whole game.

This is half-time and one of the only times that I didn't see him smiling.

He takes very seriously what his coaches tell him.

He was very pleased with his award.

Charlies Final Game

Charlie had a good time in Cheerleading this year and made some unexpected friends.

Charile really tried hard in Cheerleading this year.

Jessies End of Season

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Jessie's last game of the season. She plays around alot and she talks to her friends alot but she stuck it out until the end of the season. I'm proud of her.

Charlies Oral Report

Charlie really worked hard on this report. It was about Herbert Hoover. She had a lot of information about him. However I think that she had the same amount of information about Hoover Dam. I think that was because we went there three times last year.
